He'd didn't make playoffs in a 5 team district. No disrespect towards slack he is a great guy but he is to inexperienced. As to what you were saying about deel I will admit he has made some mistakes, but the yer before last he took a group of seniors who didnt win a game from 7th to there sophomore year and got 3rd in district. Now that is not a huge accomplishment, but to take a group of kids who have never won 3 games in one season an get third than that is good coaching during season and off season. Yes they did not beat anybody worth anything this year, but it was an improvement. You cannot seriously expect a coach to come into a program that was getting 3 wins a season and start beating everybody in the first few years [/quote] He has been here more than a few years.He has had the talent to go farther than he has.The talent Liberty has had over the past three years should have taken them two or three deep into the playoffs.Its not the talents fault.You cant blame Stewart just like you cant blame Bush any longer for Obama's failures.I remember when I was a little kid and watching Kenneth Skidmore go into Barbers Hill.He beat up on everyone in his few years including then #7 state ranked Liberty.It can be done. [/quote] I think people are over valuing Liberty's talent level. Sure they had some nice offensive skill players, but they had very little on the defensive side of the ball. It doesn't matter who the coach is if you only have talent on one side your not going three rounds deep. [/quote] They do in fact have talent on defense, last year we didn't get to see a healthy defense from liberty. Injuries hurt their defense last year, hopefully they stay healthy. I think all those sophomores & juniors from last year will do a better job this year, only time will tell though.
